Memoirs of a Drugged-Up, Sex-Crazed Yippietakes
the reader through the life of a 1970s counter-culture drug user and free
thinker. Mark Spies goes from casual pot smoking to habitual use of
pharmaceutical narcotics and cocaine. Due to the changing sexual attitudes,
Spies has several unconventional sexual encounters. The 1970s brought us the
"Woodstock generation." There was a sense of idealism that developed
at the beginning and died at the end of that decade. Spies studies various
currents of Marxism and discovers the New Communist movements of the 1970s. Many
counter-culture books focus on the 1960s, yet there are plenty of events in the
1970s that deserve attention. Nixon's war in Vietnam and Cambodia dominated the
news and affected America's youth. Nixon's war on drugs impacted the
counter-culture life style. Then there was punk rock, disco, casual cocaine use
and revolutions braking out around the world by 1979. With politics in the
background, this book gives the reader a look at drug use and the difficult
business of drug dealing. The drugs, sexual attitudes, music and politics made
the 1970s what they were. Taken as a whole, this book will give some insight
into the people and events of the 1970s counter-culture.

The "acid test" was a name for
large concerts, with groups such as the Grateful Dead, where free LSD (then
legal) was available for those in attendance. The title of this book comes from
a flyer advertising one such event. But the outbreak of LSD and marijuana in
the 1960s was not the beginning of the drug counterculture as we know it today.
This book presents examples of drug use and sex-promoting cliques around music,
magazines, newspapers, clothing and other forms of culture that countered the
established norms and often brought about the government's wrath. This book is
a comprehensive look at these counterculture trends from the 1990s back through
the late 1800s. Here is a comprehensive reference book to songs, publications
and objects of art that reflected the last century's countercultures, as well
as government and mainstream press attempts to censor them.

The cost of maintaining US Imperialism is high!

No other country in the world puts as much of its budget into the military as the US. This country is the top imperialist power in the world today and that is costing us a lot of resources that are badly needed elsewhere.
